GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

For your protection, Cuisinart Cast-Iron Burners are equipped with a 3-conductor cord set having a molded 3-prong grounding-type plug, and should be used in combination with a properly connected grounding-type outlet as shown in Figure 1. If a grounding-type outlet is not available, an adapter, as shown in Figure 2, may be obtained to enable a 2-slot wall outlet to be used with a 3-prong plug. As shown in Figure 3, the adapter must be grounded by attaching its grounding lug under the screw of the outlet cover plate.

Before using an adapter, it must be determined that the outlet cover plate screw is properly grounded. If in doubt, consult a licensed electrician. Never use an adapter unless you are sure it is properly grounded.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used, (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and (2) the longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
This appliance is for 120 volts only and should not be used with a converter.

OPERATION

Before plugging in your cast-iron burner, check to ensure that the electrical circuit is not overloaded with other appliances. This unit should always be operated on a separate 120 volt 60 Hz AC circuit. Be certain that your cast-iron burner is resting level on the countertop. There is one burner ring on the CB30 and two burner rings on the CB60. The large burner plates are rated at 1300 watts. The smaller burner is rated at 500 watts. Use the larger burner for fast and high-heat cooking, such as boiling water, and use the smaller burner for simmering or warming. Note: Avoid using pans that are unstable and easily tipped.

1. Place unit on a flat surface.
   Note: Be sure to place unit in a safe area and leave 4 to 6 inches of space above and around the unit for proper ventilation.
2. Plug unit into electrical outlet. Turn temperature control dial(s) from OFF to desired setting. Caution: Do not touch burner while in use.
3. You can choose a temperature setting from 1—5.
   Setting 1 — Low
   Setting 2 — Low/Medium
   Setting 3 — Medium
   Setting 4 — Medium/High
   Setting 5 — High
   When burner reaches desired temperature, the green Ready indicator light will illuminate. Your burner is now ready for use.
4. Place a pot or pan, in the center of the burner. It is recommended that you use a pot or pan that is the same size as the burner.
5. When cooking is complete, turn temperature control dial(s) to the OFF position.
6. When not in use, unplug unit to ensure that it is off. This helps prevent accidental burns.

IMPORTANT NOTICES

• Before the cast-iron burner is used for the first time, it should be heated up at maximum setting for approximately 4 minutes without a pot. This will burn off any residue on the burner plates.
• The cast-iron burner may smoke the first time it is used — this is normal, and the smoke will burn off within a few minutes.
• Do not leave the unit on without any pots/pans on the solid burners after the initial burn-off process.
• Do not use as a portable heater.
• Make sure the power-supply cord does not touch hot elements or cooking utensils.
• For daily cooking, wipe excess water/condensation off pots, lids and utensils prior to use.
• Make sure that hot pots or pans do not touch the housing; this could damage the housing's finish.
• The larger burners are rated at 1300 watts. The smaller burner is rated at 500 watts. Use the larger burner for fast and high-heat cooking, and use the smaller burner for simmering or warming.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Reasonable care will ensure many years of service from your unit. Avoid dropping items on the burner rings and solid burners.

1. Turn temperature control dial(s) to the OFF position.
2. Always unplug unit from electrical outlet and allow to cool before cleaning.
3. Never immerse unit in water or other liquids.
4. For easy cleaning, the burners are sealed. Do not attempt to separate burners from the unit.
5. Use a damp, soft cloth or sponge to clean the surface of the solid burners, burner rings, nonskid feet and housing unit. Never use harsh abrasives or steel wool pads on any part of the burner as they may scratch the surface or damage the unit.
6. Thoroughly dry burners and burner rings.
7. There are no user serviceable parts. Any servicing other than cleaning should be performed by an authorized service center.

Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must be performed by an authorized representative.
